	ChangeLog 
Log Message:

	The inspector page layout has changed slightly. Before the header
	looked like

	  A proper list.
            [type: CONS]
	  -------------------

	It now looks like

	  #<CONS {B3DBD39}>:
	     A proper list.
	  --------------------

	Rationale is to have a "presentation link" to the currently
	inspected object itself, to copy it down to the REPL via `M-RET'.
	This is mostly useful when trying to get a value from the Slime
	Debugger to the REPL, which you can do by inspecting the value
	first by `i', and then using `M-RET' on the object representation
	in the new header layout.

	Such a "presentation link" existed already but was removed in
	2007-08-23. The old behaviour was to have the title ("A proper
	list" in the above example) to contain the link. I decided to make
	the link more explicit.

	* swank.lisp (inspect-object): Now additionally returns a
	string-representation of the object itself, and an inspector id
	for it. Removed returning its type as this is implicit in the new
	string representation.

	* slime.el (slime-open-inspector): Adapted for new header layout.
